1959 Map of Birmingham South
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Red Mountain and Shades Mountain dictate the urban geometry of this mid-century portrait of Birmingham and its southern suburbs. The landscape is defined by the transition from industrial centers like Powderly and Spaulding to the planned residential growth of Homewood, Mountain Brook Village, and English Village. This era shows Howard College established on its new campus while civic landmarks like Vulcan Park and the Zoo overlook the city from the ridge.
